Hi all,
FS is this Dave Lloyd Concept 90 frame.
Size is Seat tube 56 ctc, 61 ctt due to extended seatpost, top tube 56 ctc
The Bad:
There is a crack around seat post collar where the extended collar joins the seat tube. I believe this is a fairly common problem with this frame and imagine it is an easy enough fix but I am never going to get around to it and is such a shame that this frame is sat not getting used.
The frame has been repainted at some point, but has some fairly large chips that i have touched up and
the graphics are just stuck on, not lacquered over so peeling off in places. There is also tire rub on the chain stay where the wheel slipped.
The Good:
Beautiful fillet brazed steel frame with amazing wishbone seat stay and credited as the first frame to use a modern geo sloping top tube.
Apart from the crack the rest of the frame is sound, dent and rust free.
When I bought this frame the crack was evident but I hoped it was just the paint cracking so i built it up and rode it for a couple of months but the crack got slightly larger so I stopped riding it. It is a lovely frame to ride and I would love to get it fixed and repainted but in reality I will never get round to it.
Hopefully someone on here can see the potential of this frame and wants to resurrect the bike?
£80 collection only, based in SW London but work in NW, happy to meet in between.
